Kyoko: Thank you for the reviews! Keep em coming! Now here is another chapter.
-------------------------------
Hinata headed to the lake ever so slowly. Even taking a few steps backward every five minutes, but somehow she managed to get there on time. 'CURSE YOU!' Hinta shouted to no particular person in her head, Could she be cursing me the author for allowing her to make it at the lake on time? Nah, that couldn't be it. Hehe…
"OIIIIII HINATA-CHAAAAAAAN!" a loud obnoxious voice called to Hinata. A blur of blonde was running towards her.
"Naruto-kun, hi." She greeted him with her classic shy smile.
The blonde began to pull on her arm and lead her to the rest of the boys. Neji, Gaara and Sasuke looked very irritated at the sight of Naruto touching their Hinata.
Neji almost instantly stepped forward, bonked Naruto on the head and pulled his cousin out of the blondes grasp.
"Oi! Neji-baka, what's wrong with you? I was just bringing Hinata-chan over here" He rubbed his hand over his newly added bump.
"You……. Or any of you for that matter…" Neji gave each boy a dangerous death glare. "WILL NOT TOUCH HINATA-SAMA!" Neji shouted at the now frightened boys, well Sasuke and Gaara weren't frightened, but everyone else, yeah pretty much.
Sasuke ignored Neji and began idly chatting with Hinata.
"So, do you like the camp so far Hinata-chan?" Sasuke let his eyes travel all over Hinata's body; she of course started feeling uncomfortable and started blushing.
"Uh well.. Its pretty nice.." she said softly.
"I agree…" Sasuke paused as he looked into her lavender orbs "Hey.. I wondering.. if you would.."
Suddenly Sasuke was pushed into the lake by Gaara. "Looks like you needed saving.."
"Arigatou…"
Gaara didn't smile but simply dragged Hinata back to the group of teenaged boys that Sasuke had somehow managed to drag her away from.
"Hinata-chan, lets go swimming!!" Naruto shouted with glee as he tugged on the now red faced Hinata.
"Umm, sure Naruto-Kun.." Slowly she started to take off her deep indigo towel.
All boys stopped what they were doing so they could watch Hinata.
Slowly Hinata let the towel fall down stopping it just before it hit the ground so she could lay it down, she stood up. Blinked twice. Blushed more.
"Why… are you all staring at me?"
Kiba was first to speak up "You look hot Hnata-Chan!" He then put his thumb up and winked at the even brighter red girl.
Neji whacked Kiba on the head "Stop looking at Hinata-Sama!!" he shouted angrily.
Gaara himself couldn't stop staring, for Hinata was wearing a bright yellow bikini.
By now Sasuke was out of the lake, soaking wet and pissed off.
"Oi, Gaara…" he slowly walked over to the red-head looking quite ferocious.
"What do ya want fag?" Gaara asked giving an equally ferocious glare at the Uchiha.
Sasuke's left eyebrow twitched slightly.
"Look whose talking….."
Sasuke trailed off as his coal colored eyes rested themselves upon the yellow bikini wearing Hyuuga Hinata.
"holy…. Shit…" the Uchiha boy muttered as continued to let his eyes lustfully travel over the young girl's body.
Neji being the over protective cousin he is thought it was a pretty good time to push Uchiha Sasuke back into the lake.
"Umm…" Hinata was lost for words. She really wished Ten-Ten, Sakure and Ino were here. They'd make everything better. Then again Ino might forget Hinata and try to hook up with one of the boys, same goes for Sakura and Ten-Ten, well the brunette would probably go on a killing spree… The last boy who looked at Hinata in such a manner ended up in a coma two days later.
Hinata looked like cherry red paint had been pored all over her; the poor girl was redder then a lobster.
Gaara came up to the girl. "Want to... Swim?" he asked not looking at her.
Hinata nodded and fallowed Gaara to the water, Sasuke was just getting out of the lake for the second time.
Gaara being the clever boy he is accidentally tripped and pushed Sasuke back into the greenish water. Oh, I hear a thud. I think the poor Uchiha hit his head on a rock. Oh well…
Gaara smirked and Hinata seemed to not notice the unconscious Sasuke.
Hinata let out a small gasp as her feet submerged in the water.
"Feels good.." she murmured softly as the two teens continued going into the water.
Neji stared wide eyed, his sweet little cousin ditched him and the others to go into the lake with Gaara. He, Neji was supposed to be the one that hung out with Hinata, roomed with Hinata, defend her from Sasuke and many other things. Neji was starting to wish he never invited the blonde boy known as Naruto because then Naruto would have never invited Gaara.
Neji without realizing it had started to beat Naruto to a pulp, the blonde boy was screaming and crying out for help and somehow Hinata still didn't notice, maybe Gaara is using some sort of spell? Cough cough. Or maybe she's just clueless….
"N-n-neji!!!" Naruto managed to choke out between screams "St-stop it you freak!!"
All the other boys were watching. They were laughing.
Neji peered at the boy under him, then looked at his raised fist that was just about to punch the blonde again.
Neji got up, brushed himself off, whistled innocently and walked away like nothing had even happened.
Back with Gaara and Hinata.
Now the two were swimming around the shallows, deep enough to swim, shallow enough to still stand.
The teens seemed to be having a nice conversation in between laps.
"So, red is not your natural color?" she asked blinking twice, she really had thought that red was natural. Not that kind of red, Hinata…
"No.. I bleached it platinum blonde, then I dyed it…" he paused and stared at Hinata for a moment. "What about you? Blue isn't natural either.."
"Well.. when I was younger Neji-Nii-San thought it would be pretty funny to dye my hair when I was sleeping.. and well it never came out, and as my hair started growing, it was blue instead of my natural color.. It was really.. odd.."
"What was your natural color?" Gaara asked curious.
"Dark brown, like Neji's."
Gaara pictured the bluenette as a brunette, brown looked good on her but blue looked much better on her, it really did suit her.
Fifteen minutes later they had started a new conversation.
"….what do you mean santa doesn't exist?!" Hinata ask as shocked as she could be.
No, no. Just kidding…
"So Hinata… what's your family like?" Gaara asked.
"Well.. My dad's a kook, weird guy, always thinking I'm going to run off and have sex.. And he is always expecting me to get perfect grades.. It stressful but over all he's a good dad I suppose.. My mom died when I was five years old. I have a little sister named Hanabi… Interesting girl that one. She is absolutely brilliant. She is only ten and yet she is at my level of schoolwork. Dad is always telling me "Be more like your sister Hanabi, Hinata." But it's really hard… I'm pathetic aren't I?" The bluenette sighed and dunked her head under water for a moment to wet her hair.
"Oh." Once again like on the bus that was all he could say, yes he wanted to agree with her and say "How could you not be smarter then a ten year old? Sheesh!" but something in Gaara wouldn't let him insult her. Instead the teal-eyed boy tried something completely out of his description, comforting.
"Nah, you're not pathetic.. Your sister is just one of those special cases.. Shikamaru is way too smart for a fifteen year-old.. and Naruto is way too stupid for a fifteen year-old… So you're okay." Gaara tried to smile but since it wasn't really his thing it ended up slightly crooked.
"Thanks Gaara-kun… now tell me about your family."
Gaara pointed to the side where all the other boys were swimming.
"See the gay looking boy with the face paint?"
Hinata nodded.
"Well he is my older brother. He fancy's playing with dolls and occasionally you'll catch him cos-playing as a maid…… I also have an older sister named Temari, she's blonde with four spikey pigtails. She is almost like a boy, I swear. Tough as nails. Anyway, she likes wrestling or any sport for that matter, video games and paintball.. My mom died when I was born and my dad's a jackass.."
Hinata like Gaara could only mutter an "oh"
After a few minutes of an akward silence Hinata spoke up.
"We have interesting family's, ne?" Hinata let out a nervous laugh.
To the lavender eyed girls surprise Gaara started laughing too.
"Yes.. I agree. Our family's are… odd."
After a short two hours of swimming the teens were told to go back to the cabin and wait in their rooms till the next activity was stated, Gaara had to drag the unconscious Uchiha to the room.
Everyone could hear Iruka shouting again "OKAY KIDS NEXT WE'RE GOING TOO…."
